Mr. Ward, of Warren, advocated the motion as follows!Mr. Speaker, I wish to submit an observation or two as to tho principle which shall govern my vole on ihe question uf salaries. I came here willi a determiua lion to vote for a proper graduation of salaries, according tn the amount of talents required, and the respon-Hibility involved. But the House seems to have adopted a different principle. We first fixed our own per diem at $4 per day, and the increase was justified op the pretext that we should have large postage bills to pay. I, sir, as this House knows, voted against that increase. And, as gentlemen well know, ihe postage has not proved so burthenfome as was supposed it would be, when our per diem was fixed. Afterwards, we fixed the per diem of the clerks, Bergennts-ai-arms and all their assistants at $4 per day, though they bad no pottage to pny. Now, sir, I should not object to pnying chief clerk and Bergeants-nt-arms the same competition ns members. But I was unwilling lo pny every n"i'ant, little talent as might he r quired, and little as might be hi responsibility, nt)d having no postage to pny, lhe some per diem of the members. I voted ogaitiHt this bill loo. But the House passed that bill, and thereby put into lhe hands of tho two Houses a vrnd deal of patronage. At least thirty clerks, sergeants nnd assistants are to bo elected by the General Assembly. It thereby gives the dominant party on this floor an immense electioneering influence. I nm against nil this. But the House having adopted this peiiect equality in paying lhe otliceisof government, irrespective of Ihe tal ents required, and irrespective of lhe responsibility of me omce, I only wish now In hold them tu the principle ndopied. As the House would not adopt my principle of graduation, in regard to lhe lower ottii es, I can see no reason why it should be dime in regard to the higher ones. Mr. Stone here naked if Mr, W. would vote for a salary hill which should so graduate all the offices in mo ooiie. Mr. W. Certainly, air. Had such a bill been framed it would receive my u port. Mr. Shollaharger snid that he was satisfied that if the majority upon this floor would fix lhe salaries of olli cers at what was riffht, whether higher or lower than ihey were heretofore, them would be found to be very little Buncombe in the change. He thought it was not saying loo much lor our constituents lo say that Ihey have at much sense as we have. It is not probably Hat teting them to go that far. If not, ihen there wilt be little political caoital ngainst ihe paity making the sal aries right. Services ought, as stated by gentlemen. to lie paid lor according to their importance, nmonnt and general value. But then we ought In take into consideration tho fact that whilst some nf the offices required of iheir incumbents their coiistnnt, nrdumisnnd exhausting personal attention, ns th it of lhe judges does, others require much leas of thn otticcr, anil Iheir duties are done by lhe clerks. Such is lhe oflice of Auditor. It is a responsible nnd important ottice. But it must be remembered that we provide for that ottice some nine clerks, some at nine hundred dollars. These clerks do the mechanical pari of tho labor of the ollice, and also much of its intellectual labor. Ta king this Inct into cotisidera ion, ho thought it probable that the present salary, twelve hundred dollars, which wns an advance upon the old salaries, would compensate that elhVer. He hoped that our judges would get such salaries as would compensate them mid secure the proper intellectual and legal acquire-i ments to those important positions which come home to us all so immediately. But we ought, in fixing all salaries, lo remember iho present condition of our people ns to taxation, nnd oilier financial mnltert, and if we err at all wo ought to err by fixing ihe snlnriestuo low, but he hoped wn would not err that way either. This motion was further opposed by Messrs. Wind, of Crawford, Houk and Hecke!, und lost; yens Hi, nays 5li. Mr. Krtder moved to reconsider tho vnle striking out 3 per cent, for collections.

Mr. Houk snid he had It-It u greater interest noon lhe subject of tho salaries of judicial cdlicers than ot nny others provided lor in the bill. He was anxious that tho principle of electing uidicinl otticers bv the people thould be vindicated by the Biiccesshil operation oi uio new system established by theconstitution. He proceeded at some length to show tho character nnd importance of the services that judges were called nn to perform, and snid ihnt any lawyer possessing tuleiits sutlicient to enable him to perioral those dutiessatis-fat-tori ly, could, by devoting himself lo the practice of his profession, make double as much as the bill propos ed to give him ns a salary. Thn confidence of the cupitT hi oi uonieuiaie m igunornood would iliUA pay iiim iwice as much for his services to them ns this bill would allow for his services to the people of the whole Slate. Mr. H. snid he was willing lo make some con cession for lhe purpose of arriving ut a common ground upon this subject, but Unit he should require some concessions from the other side. He taid he could not vote for Iho bill a a it Blond. It was well known that he had advocated a salary of $2,00(1 to Supreme nnd $1,8110 to Common Pleas Judges. This he considered nothing morn than a fair nnd equitable compensation ; but liu knew Iho House would not stiHiiin those amounts. Now, if gentlemen wanted tn compromise, let them propose something which will becouuessiou npon botli Hides. He wns not willing lo do lhe ltoss iniusliee ti the judges which this bill would do, now that they had nccepled tho nllices, nnd might feel under obligations (hat would prevent them Irom resigning.

It is rank repudia tion. We don't know what Well kb, will do in the emergency. But vivela humbug. No'other mensure of importance was pasted upon, thouvh the day wns busily used up in important matters, for the details of which, see reports. In tho Senate tho temperance subject was debated at tomo length, and was finally referred to the Temperance committee. The Governor sent to tho Senate the following names, as State House Commissioners, viz: W. A. Adams, (present i netim bed,) Dr. Edwin Smith, of Dayton; and Stephkn H. Wkbd, of Cuyahoga. Wo presume ihey will be confirmed. The name of R. H. Gilsom was also sent in ns Commissioner of the Defiance Land Office. The forenoon of Iho House, Tuesday, waa principal ly spent iu discussing; ihe bill to provide for tho mode of compensation lo individuals, where their properly wns laken by corporations. The bill finally passed. 1 he Usury bill was debated during the most of the afternoon session. It was not concluded. A resolution that no member should speak over ten minutes wns adopted. A bill repealing the law authorizing Vinton county to subscribe to the Cincinnati and Belpre Railroad passed. Also, a bill to provide for the mode, &c, of packing suit by the manufacturers. This bill repeals the old clause, requiring 280 pounds in each brrrel, and lenves every man to pack as much in a bar rel as he sees fit.

Wedesjre tpcall the &tteut:on of those Whigs who wero in lhe Legislattne when Mk- dabt was elected by them to ihis ottice. The argu ment was, that ihis was not a parly question, and that Mfdart, having an interest in Columbus and influence wilh the Democracy, might be of service on the Board. And so, Whigs voted for and elected him. Now, he tiitns round aud, by implication, abuses tho Governor roundly for ihis appointment of a Whig, and a Locofoco Senate, by a Inrge majority, also censures the Governor, and refuse to confirm his appointment. So much for Locofoco reciprocity! t It may be well enough to remember it hereafter. We shall see what we shall see in Iho management of attuira connected with Ihis branch of thu public service. Nothing of apecial interest wns dune in lhe forenoon in either House Wednesday. In thelafiernoou the Sen ate confirmed ihe nomination of Mr. Sticknit, i of lhe Stale House Commissioners. A supplemental tax but was also introduced. We learn Hint it seeks some new mode of gelling at tho Banks, aud alto tries to amend the terrible o vet si lit in the first bill, which lets ofl the entire real estate of ihe State from taxation the entiling year. We presnmo some measure of the kind will puss. That particular way of lessening the taxes of the people don't appear lo be very popular, especially wilh the members who exjiecl In spend the ensuing winter in Columbus. A full treasury is always very plensnnt under such circumstances. In the House, the judicial salary bill was takon up and discussed at some length, but without deciding anything except that there is still a great difference of opiniou among the Democracy. The bill was laid on tho lablo. During this discussion a flnre up occurred between Mr. Ward, ol Warren, and Mr. Dicnttaa They are neither of iheni models of physical strength. ami wilh nny demonstration with natural implements would not be dangerous.

Mr. Wakd told him he wns, Mr. Dxm ino then applied some very harsh, opprobrious oplthet to him, which was re ten ltd on tho spot wilh a blow. We regret this, as do iho parties concerned.

Tho people of Englttnd more correctly speaking, cdrtain portions of the English people have ihe right of voting for members of ihe House of Comnimons, Precisely where and bow this right sprung up un- ler Iho monarchy, nnd bow far it extended lit early times, it not now a matter Iu be easily settled. Even Ham.um, the moat elaborate, dry and painful if English historians, doe not assume to settle it.

Un 'ic page of our tinuala can the Conservative put his fiu-or, and sny.ihereti lhe delineation of a House of Commons in iis perfect stale; there is the model from which every deviation is nn abuse j whatever Ihen ex sled, nnd lias since been lost, mutt be restored; what-ver did not then exist is an innovation, and must he i ejected; these am the ancient ways iu winch we are bound to walk.

We are quite as remote from a represemation of property as of population.Blackwood's Magazine, (hightory,) insists upon it hat there is a general satisfaction among all except Chartists, with this state of c ttairs that no petitions have been sent to Parliament for a change that the people do not care much about voting, and that it is a hard matter to get those to vote who have a right to that universal suffrage would destroy the British constitution and that there is no safe stopping place between the present arrangement and universal suffrage i - that the present arrangement works well, and the txtenston of suffrage would only extend the system of hnbery, which It speaks of as carried on to a monstrous extent. The Westminster Review, (Reformer,) tayB, however, that: The lime is gone by when it could be alledced as an admissible uuswer lo these unomalies 'that tho sys tem worked won; that upon the whole the people wero as truly and fairly represented in the House of Commons as if every man bad a vote; that approach-;ug more nearly tn un uniform system of re present a iou would very likely not improve, perhaps deierior- i ate, the character of the House of Commons,' &c., Sim. 1 mere is ono particular, especially, in which no decent person can maintain (hat ihe system works well.

D. Campbell, Esq., of Ohio. That our opponents may see and fully appreciate the stand tuken, in advance, by the Locofoco aspirants fur the Presidency, we copy that portion of Polk's remarks where, after twenty-four hours of deliberation and consultation with these aspirants, he delivers their pledge to veto auy bill that may be passed by Congress to modify or in any way change the compromise measures, unless they are designed and expreuly aimed to strengthen the slavehold-ing interests of the South. We regard this as a most humiliating, anti-Republican pledge one that any Northern man ought to be ashamed to make. We re joice that a cardinal principle in the Whig creed, that legislation (lawmaking) belongs to Congress, and not to the President, will prevent any Whig, who has any respect for himself or tho principles of bis parly, from ho far degradiug himself as lo make such an avowal in advauce. We have no disposition to disturb the compromise measures, and are decidedly of lhe opinion thnt no good, but ouly harm, would come from the agitation of that question at present. But if, at a future day, Congress, which represents the people, should be satisfied that the best iuleresls of lhe people demanded some modification of theae measures, we should regret to see any Whig tie up his hands so tbat he could feel it his duty to veto any such modification. We call the e pecial attention of the followers of Towsmhind, Chask, Phebton Kino, &c, to the follow, log, which we clip from the debates of Congress : Mr, Polk. I wns proceeding to any - - Criea of "Order!1, 'Order!" Mr. Polk. Well. I hope I shall be allowed lo publish a postcri pt. Laughter. Mr. Chandler obtained the floor. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio. 1 ask tho gentleman from Pennsylvania lo yield me the floor for a moment iu order to allow me lo propound a question to the gentleman from Tennessee, who has just taken his seal. Mr. Chandler. I will yield fur explanation. Mr. Campbell. I understood tho honorable gentle man from Tennessee lo assert that all the Democratic :andidates for the Presidency are pledged tu veto any law that Congress may putt a flee ting in any way the fugitive slave law. I understand him to stale this distinctly. Now, I desire to say Iu thui gentlemen, that it will be a mutter of great interest to the country tu see that pledge reduced to writing ; and if money is any inducement, I will uudertnko to pay that gentleman, or any other gentleman, $1,000 who will produce any sucn piedL'u iu writing irom these men. Mr. Dean- Why, money has no effect with the Democratic party ; you must make such propositions to the wings. Mr. Polk, in accordance with a notice oiven to the House, handed the following to lhe ReiHirter as a re sponse to the geutlenian from Ohio, Mr. Campbell, i : In reference to the doctrine, thnt no President should to any bill on grounds of expediency, which the gentlemen from Ohio (Mr. Campbell) says is Whig doctrine, I have to say, flint il u not, nor never bas beep, Democratic doctrine ; nor was it the doctrine or practice of Washington ; nnd even Mr. Van Huron, il will he well remembered, pledged himself to veto any art of Congress abolishing sluvery iu the District, though he acknowledged the constitutional power to do so. So, alno, I fetl authorized to pledge any nominee of the next Democratic convention for the Presidency, to give a hie pledge as to the repeal or modification of the fugitirtlaw, unlets, indeed, suck modification (not at all likely to happen) should prove neeettary to its more effectual execution, aud be generally dtmaudrd by the South ittctf.

Having published this law at lengih, we do not pro pose to enter largely upon its discussion until our columns shall be less crowded. It Is based upon tho same general principle that of equal taxation of all the property of the Stale as the Id W lug tax law, against which the entire Locofoco parly arrayed itself fiercely and vindictively but a few years ago, and which, they insisted upon it, would prostrate Ihe liltertiea of the people if submitted to. Who has forgotten the outcry they made? Both laws made some exceptions to the general prin ciple alluded to. The general principle they have thus been compelled lo adopt, and lhe question is whether they have improved the details. These we hall not now discuss. We will state briefly, howev er, our belief that in every case where they have claimed materially to improvo upnn the old law, it has been done, if at all, by violating the plighted faith of the State, and ihnt if -they succeed In carrying It out, they will not give enough to the treasury to make any pprcciable difference in the general levy. It will, wo think, prove to be tho case of lhe man who skinned a flint but spoiled his knife in doing it. Our object now is not to discuss the law, but to call attention to the fact that ihey have at length complete ly adopted the principle of the old Whig law which tiny fought against year after year. It may be that the Democrats of the Slate, the honest portion, will rub theireyes open and stare a little! We recommend thorn to look up their old vohimo of the " Tax Killer," pictures and all, and read It over and look at lhe pictures.One of the subjects for ridicule of the old law, was ils length. It was io enormously lung, nobody, they said, could understand it. Democrats will all re mem her thai very well. The old law contained sisty six section i ; the new one contains seventy right; twelve sec Unfit more than the old one, aud pretty long sections too. We expect lo discuss the law unon ils mer- its, in due timet but in the meantime will see what the old subscribers to the " Tax Kilter "havo to offer. One thing we pledge ourselves to: that we will offer tin such captious, factious, unpatriotic, false and contemptible opposition as the Demoernlic parly did lo tlm Whig law. We will raise no objection not founded in reasou aud justice. THE SCHOOL BILL-WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY. We doubt whether time will be found to digest, dis cuss and adopt all the points of great interest tbat are embraced in Mr. Rica's Common 8chool Bill, before Ute extra session, next winter. It is a difficult and very laborious task lo prepare an entire system, wi'h all the details necessary to put it into successful 0era-tion. In the multiplicity uf business that seems to be imperative, we presume the school bill will receive the go by. We desire, however, to say that we heartily annrove that part of the bill which makes provision for supply ing copies of Webster's L'nabridged Dictionary to every School District of the Stale, under such regulations as hall secure the hook front injury and make it a per manent fixture in every school room. We have no loubt that such a volume, accessible at all times, both to teachers and scholars, will be a very decided im- proveineul one Ihat would Main be popular with all o lasses, ami deservedly so. In whatever changes this sellout nm may undergo, wo trust this feature will be retained. Wo klluW Ihero is a difference- nf nnfninn W mm think tint common school bill one nf Hm mot impor-htut uieaaurea that ran come before the Legislature, io nor cnmnii'ii acuooia niusi me great mass of our children get all the education ihey will receive, and it is very important In the Stale, and to thn well being of the community, as well aa of theae future men and women, that their rducation should not be neglected, A g I school system, though by no means alt that is needed, yet is a very efficient auxiliary in thn great work nf educating the children in a Slate like Ohio.

Mr. Bishop here moved the Drevious Question. V ith- drnwn. Mr. Fisher moved to amend by striking out $1,500, and insert $1,200, as salary of the A uditor of State. Mr. Ward, of Warren, advocated the motion as follows!Mr. Speaker, I wish to submit an observation or two as to tho principle which shall govern my vole on ihe question uf salaries. I came here willi a determiua lion to vote for a proper graduation of salaries, according tn the amount of talents required, and the respon-Hibility involved. But the House seems to have adopted a different principle. We first fixed our own per diem at $4 per day, and the increase was justified op the pretext that we should have large postage bills to pay. I, sir, as this House knows, voted against that increase. And, as gentlemen well know, ihe postage has not proved so burthenfome as was supposed it would be, when our per diem was fixed. Afterwards, we fixed the per diem of the clerks, Bergennts-ai-arms and all their assistants at $4 per day, though they bad no pottage to pny. Now, sir, I should not object to pnying chief clerk and Bergeants-nt-arms the same competition ns members. But I was unwilling lo pny every n"i'ant, little talent as might he r quired, and little as might be hi responsibility, nt)d having no postage to pny, lhe some per diem of the members. I voted ogaitiHt this bill loo. But the House passed that bill, and thereby put into lhe hands of tho two Houses a vrnd deal of patronage. At least thirty clerks, sergeants nnd assistants are to bo elected by the General Assembly. It thereby gives the dominant party on this floor an immense electioneering influence. I nm against nil this. But the House having adopted this peiiect equality in paying lhe otliceisof government, irrespective of Ihe tal ents required, and irrespective of lhe responsibility of me omce, I only wish now In hold them tu the principle ndopied. As the House would not adopt my principle of graduation, in regard to lhe lower ottii es, I can see no reason why it should be dime in regard to the higher ones. Mr. Stone here naked if Mr, W. would vote for a salary hill which should so graduate all the offices in mo ooiie. Mr. W. Certainly, air. Had such a bill been framed it would receive my u port. Mr. Shollaharger snid that he was satisfied that if the majority upon this floor would fix lhe salaries of olli cers at what was riffht, whether higher or lower than ihey were heretofore, them would be found to be very little Buncombe in the change. He thought it was not saying loo much lor our constituents lo say that Ihey have at much sense as we have. It is not probably Hat teting them to go that far. If not, ihen there wilt be little political caoital ngainst ihe paity making the sal aries right. Services ought, as stated by gentlemen. to lie paid lor according to their importance, nmonnt and general value. But then we ought In take into consideration tho fact that whilst some nf the offices required of iheir incumbents their coiistnnt, nrdumisnnd exhausting personal attention, ns th it of lhe judges does, others require much leas of thn otticcr, anil Iheir duties are done by lhe clerks. Such is lhe oflice of Auditor. It is a responsible nnd important ottice. But it must be remembered that we provide for that ottice some nine clerks, some at nine hundred dollars. These clerks do the mechanical pari of tho labor of the ollice, and also much of its intellectual labor. Ta king this Inct into cotisidera ion, ho thought it probable that the present salary, twelve hundred dollars, which wns an advance upon the old salaries, would compensate that elhVer. He hoped that our judges would get such salaries as would compensate them mid secure the proper intellectual and legal acquire-i ments to those important positions which come home to us all so immediately. But we ought, in fixing all salaries, lo remember iho present condition of our people ns to taxation, nnd oilier financial mnltert, and if we err at all wo ought to err by fixing ihe snlnriestuo low, but he hoped wn would not err that way either. This motion was further opposed by Messrs. Wind, of Crawford, Houk and Hecke!, und lost; yens Hi, nays 5li. Mr. Krtder moved to reconsider tho vnle striking out 3 per cent, for collections. Agreed to yeas 41, nnys 2y. Mr. Ward, of Crawford, moved lo amend ao that the Attorney General should receive 3 per cent, on his collections till his salary amounted to $ 1,500, Agreed Mr. Dale moved to rnise the salary of Supreme Judge from $1,500 tn $1,700. Mr. Houk snid he had It-It u greater interest noon lhe subject of tho salaries of judicial cdlicers than ot nny others provided lor in the bill. He was anxious that tho principle of electing uidicinl otticers bv the people thould be vindicated by the Biiccesshil operation oi uio new system established by theconstitution. He proceeded at some length to show tho character nnd importance of the services that judges were called nn to perform, and snid ihnt any lawyer possessing tuleiits sutlicient to enable him to perioral those dutiessatis-fat-tori ly, could, by devoting himself lo the practice of his profession, make double as much as the bill propos ed to give him ns a salary. Thn confidence of the cupitT hi oi uonieuiaie m igunornood would iliUA pay iiim iwice as much for his services to them ns this bill would allow for his services to the people of the whole Slate. Mr. H. snid he was willing lo make some con cession for lhe purpose of arriving ut a common ground upon this subject, but Unit he should require some concessions from the other side. He taid he could not vote for Iho bill a a it Blond. It was well known that he had advocated a salary of $2,00(1 to Supreme nnd $1,8110 to Common Pleas Judges. This he considered nothing morn than a fair nnd equitable compensation ; but liu knew Iho House would not stiHiiin those amounts. Now, if gentlemen wanted tn compromise, let them propose something which will becouuessiou npon botli Hides. He wns not willing lo do lhe ltoss iniusliee ti the judges which this bill would do, now that they had nccepled tho nllices, nnd might feel under obligations (hat would prevent them Irom resigning. He did not waul Ihe Legislature of Ohio in imst a bill that would cast discredit uitoil ourselves, and in Iho end result in bringing into disrepute lhe judiciary svslem of ihr Statu aa well as the principle ol elecling iudicial olli ecru by the popular vole. Ho lioiied that gentlemen would show ine iilHnion to compromise hy stri- King out f i,,'iuo, ami inserting something like an nde- iaie nuo respeciame salary.

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 22. 1852. LEGISLATURE. On Monday, the House by yeas 24, nays 40, refused to concur in thu Senate amendment to nny lhe 290 odd dollars, expenses of Ihe Kossuth roception committee. Thin wns the unkindest cat of all. It is rank repudia tion. We don't know what Well kb, will do in the emergency. But vivela humbug. No'other mensure of importance was pasted upon, thouvh the day wns busily used up in important matters, for the details of which, see reports. In tho Senate tho temperance subject was debated at tomo length, and was finally referred to the Temperance committee. The Governor sent to tho Senate the following names, as State House Commissioners, viz: W. A. Adams, (present i netim bed,) Dr. Edwin Smith, of Dayton; and Stephkn H. Wkbd, of Cuyahoga. Wo presume ihey will be confirmed. The name of R. H. Gilsom was also sent in ns Commissioner of the Defiance Land Office. The forenoon of Iho House, Tuesday, waa principal ly spent iu discussing; ihe bill to provide for tho mode of compensation lo individuals, where their properly wns laken by corporations. The bill finally passed. 1 he Usury bill was debated during the most of the afternoon session. It was not concluded. A resolution that no member should speak over ten minutes wns adopted. A bill repealing the law authorizing Vinton county to subscribe to the Cincinnati and Belpre Railroad passed. Also, a bill to provide for the mode, &c, of packing suit by the manufacturers. This bill repeals the old clause, requiring 280 pounds in each brrrel, and lenves every man to pack as much in a bar rel as he sees fit. It provides thai the neat weight and lhe inanut'aciiiror's name shall be legibly marked on eh barrel, A c. It goes to the Senate lor its action. In Iho Senate, the appropriation bill was introduced. The bill for bringing suits against the State was post poned till next tall. The Temperance bill was discuts-ed at length in committee, bihI tin amendment adopted prohibiiiug all sale of liquors. 1 he Senate confirmed Mr. Gilson as Commissioner of the Definnce Lund Oflice. Messrs. Smith nnd Webb were confirmed us State House Commissioners, and Mr. Adams was rejected yeas 11, nays 21, Messrs. Covkt, I xpj'Ann, I'AiiPKKnnd Shkrman voting with the Whigs.

Wedesjre tpcall the &tteut:on of those Whigs who wero in lhe Legislattne when Mk- dabt was elected by them to ihis ottice. The argu ment was, that ihis was not a parly question, and that Mfdart, having an interest in Columbus and influence wilh the Democracy, might be of service on the Board. And so, Whigs voted for and elected him. Now, he tiitns round aud, by implication, abuses tho Governor roundly for ihis appointment of a Whig, and a Locofoco Senate, by a Inrge majority, also censures the Governor, and refuse to confirm his appointment. So much for Locofoco reciprocity! t It may be well enough to remember it hereafter. We shall see what we shall see in Iho management of attuira connected with Ihis branch of thu public service. Nothing of apecial interest wns dune in lhe forenoon in either House Wednesday. In thelafiernoou the Sen ate confirmed ihe nomination of Mr. Sticknit, i of lhe Stale House Commissioners. A supplemental tax but was also introduced. We learn Hint it seeks some new mode of gelling at tho Banks, aud alto tries to amend the terrible o vet si lit in the first bill, which lets ofl the entire real estate of ihe State from taxation the entiling year. We presnmo some measure of the kind will puss. That particular way of lessening the taxes of the people don't appear lo be very popular, especially wilh the members who exjiecl In spend the ensuing winter in Columbus. A full treasury is always very plensnnt under such circumstances. In the House, the judicial salary bill was takon up and discussed at some length, but without deciding anything except that there is still a great difference of opiniou among the Democracy. The bill was laid on tho lablo. During this discussion a flnre up occurred between Mr. Ward, ol Warren, and Mr. Dicnttaa They are neither of iheni models of physical strength. ami wilh nny demonstration with natural implements would not be dangerous. As it was, uobody was bad ly hurt. Mr. Ward, we learn, had made some allusion to the salary of clerks, &c, which Dkmiko did uot like. Ab they sit nenr each other, and on the opposite sides el ihe centre aisle, Mr. Dxmino asked dim, when he closed his remarks, if bo was really in earnest in what he said. Mr. Wakd told him he wns, Mr. Dxm ino then applied some very harsh, opprobrious oplthet to him, which was re ten ltd on tho spot wilh a blow. We regret this, as do iho parties concerned. They are not of the rowdy clans, but uniformly courteous and gentlemanly. Keep your temper better, gentlcmeu. THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE IK ENGLAND. Tho people of Englttnd more correctly speaking, cdrtain portions of the English people have ihe right of voting for members of ihe House of Comnimons, Precisely where and bow this right sprung up un- ler Iho monarchy, nnd bow far it extended lit early times, it not now a matter Iu be easily settled. Even Ham.um, the moat elaborate, dry and painful if English historians, doe not assume to settle it. It appears that a right to a county vote might have Lteen required in 1,276 ditterent ways, viz : By vnrielies of freehold title Do. in copyhold...... ...... ... Leasehold qiialiluniions Occupying tenants. 5711 400 , 250 50 1276 Upon this, tho HVtiaiairr Review remarks that 'All of iheso are open tn inquiry and discussion !efnro Ihe registering barrister, and Ihe consequent .mount of vexation and inconvenience, the uncertain-y, nntl the iuthieuce of party organization l)mil) me egitiration. may easily bo imagined." The Reform act, of 1832, preserved tho ancient rights if voting, and extended lhe right, or ns the English writers call it, "created a new frnnchite," to house- olders pnying au annual rent of not less limn 10 per inniim, with certain conditions as In length of time of r -'sidence, Slo , Sec. The plan ol electing members of ihe Hereof Commont appears not to be based upon iny principle, but to have been contrived aa a matter ol expediency to suit the emergency. Wo quote again inmihe Ivrt'mtntrVr Review: r mm mis glance at me History oi representation, one inference it inevitable: them is no ancient ami complete standard to which appeal can he inndn. Un 'ic page of our tinuala can the Conservative put his fiu-or, and sny.ihereti lhe delineation of a House of Commons in iis perfect stale; there is the model from which every deviation is nn abuse j whatever Ihen ex sled, nnd lias since been lost, mutt be restored; what-ver did not then exist is an innovation, and must he i ejected; these am the ancient ways iu winch we are bound to walk. The most cominnu borough franchise ot our day, that of lhe 10. householders, is not yet a .pinner mi innuiy um. hp epwnnian ami hid properly nuahfnniion are modern imiovaiions. The original dumuon ot rarlinmeut was shorter linn thai which chnrlittn demands. Payment of members wns win-born with the House ol Commont. lliotigh not imperative, yet voting by ballot once wns legal. It It has probably only censed lo be so bv accident. The poorest peasant was for centuries adiulstibie into the House of Uommohs, and the son oi a ikiko was ior .i long period inadmissible. Them it scarcely a prop-"itinu tor change so great, but il may plead a prece dent. And yet the Keiormer is as much at a hits : the Conservative lor a complete model ortlandard." Themis on an average , one member to every 1,120 voters, and one voter lo every l(i inhabitants. But, these am very unequally distributed, with regnrd both iu population and property. Tho KnglMi members of 'he House of Commons are 4113 in number. Of theae, oleven districts elect with population of less limn 20, 000 each; ten districts with population ranging from 2H.000 to 30,000 each; eleven districts with popula- ol I U'Ul irom -u,nuu io io,uow em n t i"!'- itlntion from 40,000 lo 50,000 each; one with popula- ion over 00.000 and under 7",i'iHH two with popula- itun over 70,000 and under Ml 000; nnd one with pop ulation over 80,000.

We are quite as remote from a represemation of property as of population.Blackwood's Magazine, (hightory,) insists upon it hat there is a general satisfaction among all except Chartists, with this state of c ttairs that no petitions have been sent to Parliament for a change that the people do not care much about voting, and that it is a hard matter to get those to vote who have a right to that universal suffrage would destroy the British constitution and that there is no safe stopping place between the present arrangement and universal suffrage i - that the present arrangement works well, and the txtenston of suffrage would only extend the system of hnbery, which It speaks of as carried on to a monstrous extent. The Westminster Review, (Reformer,) tayB, however, that: The lime is gone by when it could be alledced as an admissible uuswer lo these unomalies 'that tho sys tem worked won; that upon the whole the people wero as truly and fairly represented in the House of Commons as if every man bad a vote; that approach-;ug more nearly tn un uniform system of re present a iou would very likely not improve, perhaps deierior- i ate, the character of the House of Commons,' &c., Sim. 1 mere is ono particular, especially, in which no decent person can maintain (hat ihe system works well. It isnn extensive agency of demoralization. As a gen eral rule, a neat is expensive. In very few instances dues one coat so little as 1000. I he aggregate out- ay on a general election is estimated at a million and i half sterling. We need not refer to iho St. Alban's -evelations, or to other disclosures in the records of i lection committees yet more disgusting. All over the jountry habits of debauchery are stimulated, ami con sciences are tampered wilh. The pernicious influence jf the election agent is not confined lo the election 'ime, it extends over all tho intervening periods. He is a permnnent missionary of demoralization, sud- plied with funds from those whose ambition it bent on ihe purchase ot legislative honors. Let not tho blame be shifted on the people. They are Corrupt because hey aro corrupted. Temptation is constant and now-' erful; punishment most uncertain and rare. To de fend this shameful part of our electoral system would he iho open advocacy of the grossest vice. On ihe need of reform, whatever tho means, in Ihis respect, there can be no d spute.

We cannot but wonder, to see this gross and starting corruption admitted by writers on both sides of 'he controversy ; und in the same periodicals which ccnsionnUy dish up, wilh evident gusto, exaggerated wcounts of disorderly elections in this country. Our ilection scenes are sometimes bad enough; and our Itfmagogues sometimes resort lo means quite sutticient-y humiliating to give one a poor idea of human f po- l-'.icnl) nature. But we are yet an immense distance behind England in such matters. God grant that we nay never catch up wilh her. It is supposed that if the right of voting were given o i(H males over 21 years of age in England and Wales, there would be a trifle less lhaii four and u half milium of voters. If the right were extended to all householders, there would he a trifle more than three I'd a fourth millions of voters about one and a fifth millions less than by universal suffrage.

D. Campbell, Esq., of Ohio. That our opponents may see and fully appreciate the stand tuken, in advance, by the Locofoco aspirants fur the Presidency, we copy that portion of Polk's remarks where, after twenty-four hours of deliberation and consultation with these aspirants, he delivers their pledge to veto auy bill that may be passed by Congress to modify or in any way change the compromise measures, unless they are designed and expreuly aimed to strengthen the slavehold-ing interests of the South. We regard this as a most humiliating, anti-Republican pledge one that any Northern man ought to be ashamed to make. We re joice that a cardinal principle in the Whig creed, that legislation (lawmaking) belongs to Congress, and not to the President, will prevent any Whig, who has any respect for himself or tho principles of bis parly, from ho far degradiug himself as lo make such an avowal in advauce. We have no disposition to disturb the compromise measures, and are decidedly of lhe opinion thnt no good, but ouly harm, would come from the agitation of that question at present. But if, at a future day, Congress, which represents the people, should be satisfied that the best iuleresls of lhe people demanded some modification of theae measures, we should regret to see any Whig tie up his hands so tbat he could feel it his duty to veto any such modification. We call the e pecial attention of the followers of Towsmhind, Chask, Phebton Kino, &c, to the follow, log, which we clip from the debates of Congress : Mr, Polk. I wns proceeding to any - - Criea of "Order!1, 'Order!" Mr. Polk. Well. I hope I shall be allowed lo publish a postcri pt. Laughter. Mr. Chandler obtained the floor. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio. 1 ask tho gentleman from Pennsylvania lo yield me the floor for a moment iu order to allow me lo propound a question to the gentleman from Tennessee, who has just taken his seal. Mr. Chandler. I will yield fur explanation. Mr. Campbell. I understood tho honorable gentle man from Tennessee lo assert that all the Democratic :andidates for the Presidency are pledged tu veto any law that Congress may putt a flee ting in any way the fugitive slave law. I understand him to stale this distinctly. Now, I desire to say Iu thui gentlemen, that it will be a mutter of great interest to the country tu see that pledge reduced to writing ; and if money is any inducement, I will uudertnko to pay that gentleman, or any other gentleman, $1,000 who will produce any sucn piedL'u iu writing irom these men. Mr. Dean- Why, money has no effect with the Democratic party ; you must make such propositions to the wings. Mr. Polk, in accordance with a notice oiven to the House, handed the following to lhe ReiHirter as a re sponse to the geutlenian from Ohio, Mr. Campbell, i : In reference to the doctrine, thnt no President should to any bill on grounds of expediency, which the gentlemen from Ohio (Mr. Campbell) says is Whig doctrine, I have to say, flint il u not, nor never bas beep, Democratic doctrine ; nor was it the doctrine or practice of Washington ; nnd even Mr. Van Huron, il will he well remembered, pledged himself to veto any art of Congress abolishing sluvery iu the District, though he acknowledged the constitutional power to do so. So, alno, I fetl authorized to pledge any nominee of the next Democratic convention for the Presidency, to give a hie pledge as to the repeal or modification of the fugitirtlaw, unlets, indeed, suck modification (not at all likely to happen) should prove neeettary to its more effectual execution, aud be generally dtmaudrd by the South ittctf. In thort, any Democratic nominee will unhesitatingly pledge kimtflf to ducmtntcnanee.and, if nrcettary, VETO any attempt to moayy me jugtiive, stave taw, tn accordance trith the weirs and demands of those who areaiming to rffrct that end. In wnru, i teei oninoried to say, in the most umiunii- u iiiHiiuer, thai iht-re ia not a candidate for the next Presidency in the Democratic ranks who is not heart nnd soul in favor nf the compromise measures in favor of the faithful execution oftkcfugitive slave law againsi lis mi-uiucaiioii or repeal, THE NEW TAX LAW. Having published this law at lengih, we do not pro pose to enter largely upon its discussion until our columns shall be less crowded. It Is based upon tho same general principle that of equal taxation of all the property of the Stale as the Id W lug tax law, against which the entire Locofoco parly arrayed itself fiercely and vindictively but a few years ago, and which, they insisted upon it, would prostrate Ihe liltertiea of the people if submitted to. Who has forgotten the outcry they made? Both laws made some exceptions to the general prin ciple alluded to. The general principle they have thus been compelled lo adopt, and lhe question is whether they have improved the details. These we hall not now discuss. We will state briefly, howev er, our belief that in every case where they have claimed materially to improvo upnn the old law, it has been done, if at all, by violating the plighted faith of the State, and ihnt if -they succeed In carrying It out, they will not give enough to the treasury to make any pprcciable difference in the general levy. It will, wo think, prove to be tho case of lhe man who skinned a flint but spoiled his knife in doing it. Our object now is not to discuss the law, but to call attention to the fact that ihey have at length complete ly adopted the principle of the old Whig law which tiny fought against year after year. It may be that the Democrats of the Slate, the honest portion, will rub theireyes open and stare a little! We recommend thorn to look up their old vohimo of the " Tax Killer," pictures and all, and read It over and look at lhe pictures.One of the subjects for ridicule of the old law, was ils length. It was io enormously lung, nobody, they said, could understand it. Democrats will all re mem her thai very well. The old law contained sisty six section i ; the new one contains seventy right; twelve sec Unfit more than the old one, aud pretty long sections too. We expect lo discuss the law unon ils mer- its, in due timet but in the meantime will see what the old subscribers to the " Tax Kilter "havo to offer. One thing we pledge ourselves to: that we will offer tin such captious, factious, unpatriotic, false and contemptible opposition as the Demoernlic parly did lo tlm Whig law. We will raise no objection not founded in reasou aud justice. THE SCHOOL BILL-WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY. We doubt whether time will be found to digest, dis cuss and adopt all the points of great interest tbat are embraced in Mr. Rica's Common 8chool Bill, before Ute extra session, next winter. It is a difficult and very laborious task lo prepare an entire system, wi'h all the details necessary to put it into successful 0era-tion. In the multiplicity uf business that seems to be imperative, we presume the school bill will receive the go by. We desire, however, to say that we heartily annrove that part of the bill which makes provision for supply ing copies of Webster's L'nabridged Dictionary to every School District of the Stale, under such regulations as hall secure the hook front injury and make it a per manent fixture in every school room. We have no loubt that such a volume, accessible at all times, both to teachers and scholars, will be a very decided im- proveineul one Ihat would Main be popular with all o lasses, ami deservedly so. In whatever changes this sellout nm may undergo, wo trust this feature will be retained.
